After Myself
After Myself is an experimental essay film that explores universal themes such as identity, nostalgia and grief. The film blends two distinct visual and narrative languages: The first consists of personal home videos, in which the imperfect nature of memories contrasts with the objective recordings. The second part features oneiric scenes where the filmmaker inhabits a liminal space and interacts with symbolic objects representing five deceased relatives - two grandfathers, two grandmothers and an aunt. The film's non-linear narrative continuously juxtaposes these different languages, as the filmmaker explores personal thoughts and emotions through a contemplative voice-over narration.
